Th e soil was- an old sward, the depth about four inches, and the breadth about eight inches. The premhuu of ten guineas was, after much difEculy of determination, adjudg ed to the single. Scotch plough, the property of Mr. Kendal, of klazel Farm, in the neighbourhood. The other plough is entitled to the second premiuin, six guineas.

Mr. ATTORNEY -GENERAL was about to move to make the rule for . A criminal information absolute; against certain of the: LiVerpool - rioterS, and to er= large it against Myers, who bad not pct been served. He also stated that on behalf of two others ire Should not press it, as Mr. Garrow had shewn him their affidavits, and he thought that with res-p - ea to them there must hatie been Some mistake. Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. RAINS .stated, that they sewed cause against the rule, on behalf of two other of the parties. After some conversation, it was agreed that the business should stand over until to-morrow. THE KING 2). FRAZER. The defendant, who is a Clerk in the Six Clerks' Oftice, Was brought up to receive judgment for an assault committed on Mr. Charles Wall, under the following Circumstances :—Mr. Wall having incur-, red a considerable debt to the Defendant, was called on in last Sept.• to pay •ir ; and for some time con trived to ,keep'off the demand. • At length finding the defendant inexorable, and being threatened with an arrest, he came to the Six Clerks' Office and there publicly used some very insulting epithets to the defendant. In the course of the dialogue the de fendant knocked Mr. Wall down, and kicked-him cut of the Office. Mr. Wall, who was an Attorney, immediately looked to the law for redress, brodght his action, and the defendant was found guilty of the assault. Lord ELLENBOROUGH,.. after expressing his great displeasure at hearing of those vulgar brawls in an Office connected with public justice, direded the defendants in consequence of some legal omission on the part of the prosecutor, to be discharged, on paying a fine of one shilling. ZENIMBA V. NAvrAIJ. In this case; Mr. GARROW sheaved cause why the defendant should not be-brought up from the cus tody of the Marshal, by virtue of his privilege as Shah-Bender. or Consul-General of the.pttoman Porte to Great Britain. Mr. -GARROW for this purpose; read ,an affidavit from a person of the name of Crifico,,stiling himself the Shah-Bender, and affirming that Natali's cre dentials-we .are fictitious, and N a t a li hi mself nothing 'a Jew than Jew ! Lord ELLENROROUGH was of opinion that the credentials of both •Critico and Natali were of 'so suspicious a nature, that the Court ,would not be justified in coming to any determination upon - the subject of the Rule, until Aore thruments were procured froze the 'Secretary of State's Office, suf ficient to authenticate either.—Rule enlarged until the last day of term. On Wednesday afternoon an alarming fire brolip out in the large brewery of Mr: NV: LEMAN, of Chard, which in a - very _few hours_ consumed the same, together with his malt-houses and their con, tents, and a largestock of beer, to the amount of several thousand pounds. The p:emises being part ly thatched, and in a confined situation, a very small,part of the stock ,was sayed... The fire coin municated to the . dweiling-hou,e in . front, which with those o f Mr. EDI,VARDS, Salesman, and • Mrs. LANGDON, were partly destroyed.'

Thursday evening, between the hours of eight and ten, the house of Mrs. Paul, a laundress, in Bethnal-green-road; was forciblyentered ny thieves, at present unkown, who stole table linen, sheets, shirts, andother property entrusted with her to wash, to the value of nearly Q,Ol. with which the villains made their escape.. Monday last an inquest was'held the'bodies of Maturin Dagorn, a French pilot, and Mary his wife, at an Inn in prospet..-t-row, Plymouth-Dock. It .ap peared in evidence, hat the husband was jealous of his wife, (but without the least - ground for it, asthe woman was universally allowed to be very prudent and discreet), and formed the desperate resolutio❑ of puttilig a period to her existence and his own, which he.effected on Saturday last, by first shooting her with a pistol, and then shooting himself with the 'same pistol, loaded again for the purpose. After a full and deliberate investigation, the Jury'brought in a verdia of lPilful Murder of the wife; and felo de se on the husband. He' is ordered to be buried, in a cross road. , . . . . Yesterday the prison ers who stand committed on suspicion of felony, were removed from the different gaols in the City and County of Middlesex to New gate, preparatory to their trials at the.ensuing Ses sions, which commence on Wednesday next at Jus tice Halt, Old Bailey.

Aiisimri TO nfE DUKE OF CiIiVIbEf?LALVB tcatoi4att'S iNtwesa• V'esterday, at three o'clock, a Cor'oner's Inquest; composed of respectable itileibitarits of the Verge Of St. James's Palace; was held iii ihp apaithieziti of his Royal Highness the Duke of tumberlapd, td inquire' into the death of Joseph &His, who was found dead in his bed at three o'Clocle the preceding morning. Mr. ADANis; the Coroner, after stating the objeei Of their investig a ti on , sa id , i t would be 6 tieeessary . for him to allude . to the ,Violeht attack Which had been made upon his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, while aleeping in his bed on Thursday morning. From the. information which had Since come to his knowledge, he observed, that there ap 7 peered the strongest grounds•to suspect that the ae- 7 teased had made that attack. Several witnesses had been examined upon the subject, - among them xas his Royal Highness, and as he was unable to attend thew -in person, be should read • hiS deposition, which he expressed an extreme desire to confirm upon oath. The depoaition - Was then read. It stated; in sub ' stance— . That between two and three o'clock On Thursday morning, while the latrip was ektinguished, he was attacked in his bed by a person whom he could not • discern, and received two severe cuts in his head; and 'several blows on different parts of his body ; that he. jumped out of bed, and endeavoured to open the door which 'led to his. Page Neill's apart ment; but before be could open the door, and while standing on the floor, he received a severe '- ctit on the thigh ; be then alarmed the House, and _the person assailing desisted. The man-never spoke a wordy but - vile heard him deep soineihing, which he believed to he a sword. Neill then entered the room, and was endeavouring' to folow . the assassin, but he would not then - allow him, but desired him to take care that no one should . be sulfered to leave the house. He afterwards examined the apartment., and he saw the scabbard of a sword, a`dark lanthorn, and a pair of slippers, belonging to &hie, in a closet adjoining the room wherein he was'attacked. He never recollected having 'incurred 'the displeasure of Sellis, or given him any cause of otience; on the Contrary, he had doire• him several acts of kinclnes's, • and should still have continued to do so.. The examinations of the other witnesses, winch had been- previously taken before Mr. READ, and other Magistrates,were here read, but as they w ere all called in, and perwitally examined uhOn every point that, came within their knowledge, we shall, there fore, 'detail the evidence given before the jury, which includes all that appeared ih the depesitions.. Cornelius Neill, page , to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, swore, that while he was. in bed on Thursday neeining, he was alarmed by his Royal Highness calling " Murder !" He immediately entered the root , and foetid his Royal Highness covered with blood, who said, " Neill, I'm murdered !" That witness, in .walk ing towards the '-eppOsite door of the room, put Isis foot upon a naked . sword, which he tilted in his hand, and found it to be almost covered with blood. He then, having formerly laid held of a • poker, was going -to pursue the murderers through the opposite door, but his Royal High ness prevented him, saying, " Don't Ka front me, for 'God's sake, there may be another in the moire but take care- that no person - be suffered to leave • the :house. Let Sellis he called to give assistance." His, Royal. Highness and the witness then went down stairs, and alarmed the porter and the other servants. • Witness desired the porter and hii own wife to go and alarm Sellis, but his wife returned, and said that his door was locked, and she could.not make him answer her. Some person. then said, that the key was in the inside of Sellis's - dour, and that he was murdered ; . but the .witness could not recol lett who it was-that first told him so. They then searched the apartments and found a scabbard, a dark lanthorn, a pair of slippers with Sellis's name marked in his (Sellis's) own hand writing, a bottle of water, and two bolsters, in 'a water-closet which was .within a closet that adjoined his Royal High ness's bed room. On looking at the lock of the interior closet, be perceived that the key was in the inside, which be never observed_ before, and w hi c h, in lais opini on , cou ld b e put thei - e for no other pur-• pose than to conceal a persen who should lock him self -within the closet. From having seen the sword on the floor, and the wounds which his Royal High ness bad received, he had reason to believe that they were given with the sword. 'The witness attended his Royal Highness when be came home on Wed nesday evening, about- twelve o'clock, and at ti.iat time he observed no person in his room. He was ordered to awake him next morning at six -o'clock,. - as he was to go out at seven. He then went to bed himself, atter shutting the door of his Royal Highness's room, but without locking it, mad he did not think any person could have entered by that door, as he must have seen or heard them. He thought the assassin must have concealed 'himself in the closet before his Royal Highness went to bed.-- . Some days b e f ore b e recolleCted Sellis having brought out a suit of regimentals, which he in his Royal:Highness's bed-roern,,in order that his Roy Ott Highness might dress for a military inspection, that inspeCtion not taking place, Sellis took them away again, anti • left the'stord behihd. He oe served the sword lying in 'the room on Wednes day.He observed it to lie on the sofa about three days. To a qbestien put by Mr. Place, the Forefeet) of the Jury, " 'Whether he knew of any motive which Sellis could have for taking away the Duke's life ?" the witness answered, " That he had no mo tive in the world, for the Duke. had done: more ter him than for any other servant he- bad." That hi. Royal Highness had done less for hirnSelf, 4VIIO had been longer in his service. His Royal Highnesss had not only - himself treated him with Brea: k Lid ness, but prevailed on some of the Princesses to bestow favours on his wife and children. ,When Sellis 'first, came into the service he was Only a barber." • • Q. (By the Jury). Did you ever hear Sethi, complain of any bad treatment he had receive 4 from the Duke ?—A. He had no reason to com• plain. U. Did yon ever hear him complain ness. Am I obliged to answer the question ? The Coroner said 40 must answer that question. t i
